education is the key to success. one said we have never left the country, i would like to point out there is no military presence in iraq right now. the answer to that question is we have left places completely. we did completely leave vietnam as well. host: your perspective as somebody who has been working on shoring up the hearts and minds of the afghan people, what do you see as the future of the u.s. role? caller: i think there will be a long-term presence both militarily, diplomatically, and socially as well. i think it will become an exchange of educational -- it will have to be between the two countries. right now there is a 25% literacy rate across the country. if it ever was to stand on its own two feet, we will have to commit ourselves to educating their countries so that they can be able to stand for themselves. that is really the bottom line. iraq has a 75% 80% literacy rate. they are able to move from the bottom up. in afghanistan you do not have that situation. there is a generational effected that need

yes, people are -- it is certainly not the answer to our educational problem. a lot of parents provide help for those classes. they do not get a tax break. host: "sir, please tell us what a simplified tax code looks like." guest: there would be a long argument over the mortgage deduction. other tax breaks that people get, research and development. with a lower tax rate, people would have more money to do with what they wish. it does work without these tax breaks. people are so invested and they think they are almost entitled to them, but they do not like the idea of getting rid of them, especially -- except for things that do not benefit them. host: thomas schatz, president of citizens against government waste. our next call is dale from misery -- from missouri. caller: the federal government -- i don't know, 500 people in congress -- and then the cia and the secret service. to all of them have a bottomless pit where they can throw a $600,000 or $800,000 party? how can they even do a budget? guest: the bottomless pit is whatever the taxpayers send to washington

pension reform, higher education a act. i know the guy knows how to deal but in this day and age he is caught between a rock and a hard place. host: why? guest: you are right, he has a tough job. i think he is happy to have the job. we have been through a lot in this country. we had the fiscal crisis. we have two wars, one very unpopular. we have a loss of faith in government out in the country especially within the republican base. the republican party itself has again through a lot of strain with the rise of the tea party. so, boehner has a very difficult task ahead. we had an election where we win, we lost eight seats in the house, our presidential candidate lost fairly convincingly. for republicans is not a fun time. that said boehner is the guy for the job. the fact that he had so many people defect was not a reflection on him it was the bozos who vote the against him. the republican party if it is going to be successful must remain united. if divided the democrats will have a field day. i think that john boehner is th
